[Picture: The Postman and Letter-Carrier]
Make haste, my good lad, or the postman may be gone. These
letter-carriers begin to ring a bell about five o’clock every evening,
and collect letters and newspapers in the several parts of the town, so
as to be able to get to the General Post Office in time for sorting them
for the mail-coaches.
The gentleman’s servant with the letter, seems to be sent from some
lawyer in the Temple, as there is a view of the gardens and fountain.
